Taught a permaculture class last Sunday and the weather was just perfect for a tour of the garden. The topic was on "animals as part of a permaculture system" as well as "survival gardens" so we checked the chooks and their pen as well as the perennial veggies.
I have a variety of heirloom chooks such as Australorp, Wellsummer, silver and golden laced Wyandottes which are good layers and entertaining companions. I enjoy sitting among them in the afternoon and listening to their gossips or complaints.

Doing the tour of the garden to list the perennials and edible weeds, I realised that i live in a salad bowl and that wherever I look, there is food galore despite a harsh and wet winter.
